Light Painting

To create these images, we had to turn the lights off and use one small light which was attached to the end of a ruler. We set out camera's to TV and it was set on High Frames Per Second (FPS) Rate/ Shutter Speed which was from 10 to 30 seconds. The ISO was also set to 100. Then we quickly drew our image using the small lighting.

Here's a few images of Light Painting, (shown below):

Gel Lighting

To create these images we used Gel Lighting Filters which make the images have a different type of effect to it. You could combine any colour together or use them separately such as; Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple ect.., to create these effects.
In order to create these images, you need to make sure that the camera is set to manual, the shutter speed has to be 1/30, the Aperture has to be 5.6 and the ISO has to be 400.

Here's a few images using Gel Lighting, (shown below):

Photography Lighting

SOFT LIGHTING EFFECTS

I learned how to create Soft Lights, Hard Light, Clam Shell Lighting and Rim Light photographs. To create a Soft Lighting images we used a soft box which reflected the light back to the object which created a clam shell effect. When creating Soft Lighting, we had to make sure that our camera's were set to the following:
  • ISO 100
  • Shutter Speed: 1/50
  • Aperture: 5.6


Here's a few Soft Lighting effects, (shown below):







HARD LIGHTING EFFECTS

Hard Lighting is created by the Rim Light where part of the lighting is blocked so that you focus more on the shadow of the image. When creating Hard Lighting, we had to make sure that our camera's were set to the following:
  • Manual
  • ISO: 400
  • Aperture: 5.6
  • Shutter Speed: 1/45



Here's 2 examples of Hard Lighting effects, (shown below):
